Nontechnical Guide to Petroleum Geology, Exploration, Drilling & Production, 3rd Ed. Description
In this popular text that has trained thousands in the petroleum industry for years, Dr. Norman Hyne takes readers through upstream operations--from how oil and gas are formed; how to find commercial quantities; how to drill, evaluate, and complete a well--all the way through production and improved oil recovery. He uses lots of pictures, graphs, and illustrations to aid readers in understanding topics and to provide necessary visuals.
Read it cover-to-cover as a complete primer, read it a section at a time as it comes up in your profession, and keep it handy as a quick reference.

If you're interested in learning about the dynamics of the oil industry and you know absolutely nothing about it, this is the book for you. Norman Hyne describes industry jargon with dictionary-like simplicity and guides you through the basics of oil drilling, where oil is located and why, how to read seismographs, and many other things. The book has photos and drawings throughout the book that help you get a better grasp of what is described.
This book seems to be written as a classroom textbook, but I read it cover-to-cover.

Not as much information as I would have liked to see on unconventional fraccing and drilling that is much more commonly done in today's shale plays. Still a very usefull guide and dictionary of industry terms and concepts.
